On Being Past Eighty
by
Jane Cox Farmer
I waken to the promise of the day;
with hope and joy I welcome each new morn.
Without regrets I press on, come what may.

In thankfulness for lessons I have learned
though in the learning process, pain was borne,
I waken for the promise of this day!

As I look back upon my twisted way
I see my stumbling path with failures worn
and try again to press on, come what may.

So many friends have pointed out the way;
without such folks I'd truly forlorn;
I waken to the promise of each day.

Some concepts, dearly held, became passe';
displaced by new ideas, no need to mourn.
I've no regrets; I press on, come what may.

Now, heav'n-sent angels guide my work and play.
I've faith that my ventures they'll bless and adorn.
I wake with trust that joy will crown my day;
with no regrets, I press on, come what may!
